To prepare you for a leadership position in or outside of academia, the University of Würzburg offers you the opportunity to complete a modular leadership training program and earn the Leadership Certificate JMU.
Goals
With the Certificate Leadership ...
We offer you in-depth and customized continuing education that supports you in your current leadership activities or prepares you for roles and tasks as a future leader in the academic and non-academic sector. In our events, you will learn about different leadership contexts and build a repertoire of actions to effectively shape your respective area of responsibility.
In the continuing education program, we support you in identifying your strengths and areas of development as a (future) supervisor and in developing your personal leadership style. You will receive impulses on how to fill your leadership role authentically and flexibly.
You can use the certificate to demonstrate your leadership experience and competencies in application procedures. In this way, you make skills and knowledge visible that are part of the requirement profile of a leader.
The certificate also aims to strengthen the leadership culture at JMU by further professionalizing supervisors and engaging in dialogue with each other about what constitutes good leadership.
Target group
The continuing education is aimed at all interested researchers at JMU.
You can acquire the certificate in leadership in order to prepare yourself for a future leadership position: You can therefore start with the continuing education even if you have no or only little leadership experience and do not yet lead yourself.
If you already have leadership experience and currently have leadership responsibility, you can use the training to reflect on your current leadership activities and develop them further. To this end, we make specific offers aimed exclusively at experienced supervisors.
Structure
For the Leadership Certificate, you will acquire a total of 60 work units (1 unit ≈ 45 minutes) by attending compulsory and elective courses.
Scientists who have already completed their doctorate can complete the Leadership Certificate in the advanced level with a total of 90 work units.
The Leadership certificate comprises four levels, which should be passed through one after the other as far as possible.
In the kick-off workshop, we bring together all scientists who are currently interested in the Leadership Certificate. We will explain the further procedure and provide assistance on how to plan your further education in a goal- and demand-oriented way. In addition, we will guide you on how to complete the occasion and goal clarification afterwards. By submitting this document, which is uploaded to WueCampus, you are actively participating in the certificate program.
For the acquisition of the certificate Leadership:
Basic course "Leading effectively"
In the basic course "Leading Effectively" we give you an overview of basic concepts and instruments of personnel management. This takes place every semester in a blended learning format. In order to be able to adequately address target group-specific experiences and needs, we offer a basic course for scientists without leadership responsibility as well as a basic course for scientists with leadership responsibility. We recommend that you attend the basic course as the first event in the continuing education program.
Bias Training
The Unconscious Bias Training, which we offer every semester in cooperation with the Gender Equality Academy of the University of Würzburg as well as an e-learning course, aims to raise awareness of common gender stereotypes and behavioral clichés in the university context and to show how we can help shape a modern work culture in science.
For the acquisition of the certificate of leadership in the advanced level are added:
Peer exchange
Participants in th advanced level take part in a peer exchange. This is a structured form of collegial exchange with the aim of better understanding challenging situations and jointly developing solutions. Specifically, you meet three times in a fixed group at four-week intervals to discuss your concerns in a solution-oriented manner. The Academic Staff Development team acts as moderator during the meetings.
Counseling/Coaching
In addition, we invite participants on their way to the advanced level to a personal counseling or a coaching appointment, where we work on individual concerns and questions.
In the elective area, we offer you a range of different topics and formats to deepen your knowledge and skills in the area of personnel management. Depending on the format, the focus is on imparting knowledge, practicing and trying out leadership tools, or collegial exchange and self-reflection. In the lectures, practical workshops and seminars, we address content such as personnel selection, lateral leadership, feedback, supervising doctoral students, self-management, project management, motivation, change management and much more.
We invite you to set your individual focus in the elective area by selecting the offerings that are particularly interesting and important to you. If the reference to the topic of leadership is clear, you can also bring in events of our internal cooperation partners (ProfiLehre, Conflict Management, Graduate Schools, Gender Equality Academy, etc.) after consultation.
In order to continuously document and reflect on your learning process, you will individually create a portfolio consisting of several parts for your own continuing education documentation (1. clarification of occasion and objectives; 2. listing of the events attended; 3. reflection sheet on the events; 4. leadership concept). You will receive a template for this and will be informed about the exact structure in the kick-off workshop.
As soon as you have acquired the specified number of work units, you can register for a reflection workshop. We then ask you to upload your list of attended events as well as your leadership concept in WueCampus until about one week before the workshop. Together with other participants of the Leadership Certificate, you will analyze your learning experiences in the reflection workshop and get to the heart of what constitutes good leadership for you.
After the reflection workshop, we will issue you the Leadership Certificate with a list of all events and consultations attended (incl. workload).
